nature, featuring local talent and personalities, while still being a commercial operation driven by the the bottom line and the need to turn a profit. Over time, that need drove radio to become less local and more formulaic in order to appeal to the greatest number of listeners (consumers) at the expense of quality and public service. Many radio stations today produce little to no local programming of their own, simply rebroadcasting the signal they receive via satellite from their home office in some other part of the country.
WVLP is different. As a non-profit station that operates through the efforts of enthusiastic volunteers, our operating costs are much lower than those of large, commercial radio stations. This means we face less pressure to adhere to a commercial formula and can instead present the passions and desires of the volunteers as well as the listeners in the community.
Our low power FM license from the FCC limits our broadcast range to Valparaiso and the immediate surrounding area. This means that we will always be a local station focused on the needs and interests of our community. One motto we’ve often used reminds us of this: “Low Power to the People.”
Our doors and microphones are open to those people in the area who have a passion to share or an issue to air. We are excited to feature local artists and musicians, play-by-play reporting of high school sporting events, interviews with people who live and work in Valparaiso, and musical variety you won’t find anywhere else on your FM dial.
WVLP truly is “the voice of Valparaiso.” We hope you will listen, enjoy, and let your own unique voice be heard.
